He is entitled to his children as much as you are.

Some women think they have the automatic right to everything. Sorry, but you don't.

Indeed.

But you women do it to men and think nothing of it.

Sometimes people have to be taught a lesson.

best thing you can do is get a top notch lawyer, and fight with everything in your being for them. That goes for men and women.

That's the WORST thing you can do. The only people who benefit from that approach are lawyers with their overinflated charges.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances (such as child abuse), custody should always be granted jointly to both parents and children should live with each parent half the time.

Indeed - but that isn't the way it works sadly.

He/She that represents themself in court has a fool for a client. I never said lawyers would be cheap, but if you really want your children back, you have to have someone that knows the law, and states the facts as a matter of law, and not just emotion. Everything has a price, and if it is worth doing, it ought to be done right.

That is an extremely insensitive remark. How could you say something like that to someone who is in real pain? Besides, the opposite applies as well, she is just as entitled to her children as he is, and for him to try to take away yer right to be a mother is just as wrong as if she tries to take away hs right to be a father. I went through thie with my ex, and I lost. I cry every single day because I am not allowed to be a mother to my children anymore.

There are plenty more men crying.

Their ex-partners don't care, the courts don't care, and society doesn't care.

So excuse me for being the "insensitive" one. When MEN have the rights they should, then I'll accept your point.

It's not that women don't care. They do, but you have to understand some cases involve men who are abusive and controlling. It's easy to say split the time between two parents, but you have to consider the child's routine and it's also about finances aswell, if one parent is in an opposite part of the country.

Domestic violence is a common factor, but mothers are by nature, carers and taking a child away from their mother isn't rational.
